For anyone who always wanted to know who was on the $10,000 bill!
Quote:
The first U.S. federal currency was printed in 1862, during9 Salmon P. Chase's tenure as Secretary of the Treasury. Thus, it was his responsibility to design the notes. In an effort to further his political career, his own face appeared on a variety of U.S. paper currency. Most recently, in order to honor the man who introduced the modern system of banknotes, Chase was on the $10,000 bill, printed from 1928 to 1946. Salmon P. Chase was instrumental in placing the phrase "In God We Trust" on United States currency.
That reminds me of comedian Brendon Burns observation that gay men lived in well todo areas of cities but lesbians rarely did, clearly male homeosexuals were better off economically and he figured it was because "THEY DON'T HAVE FRIKKIN GIRLFRIENDS!!!"
There have been over fifty million Mr. Potato Heads sold since it came out in 1952.
Dang more potatoheads than Australians!

@hingehead,
And, given that male earnings are still considerably above those of females, and biology, they are way more likely to be wealthy dink couples than lesbians are!
Mind you, I know some very well off female dinks!

I see that Internet disinformation continues to be propagated.
"Paper can't be folded more than eight times, no matter the size of the paper" is false.
Debunked in 2002 by a high school student (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britney_Gallivan).
She even developed a formula which says that in order to fold anything in half, it must be π times longer than its thickness.
Stumble It!
